    I have now tried to play 4 multiplayer rounds and I just finished my first one. Started with 4 people and 2 quit and the other games everyone quit. I usually play match play because when a player quits they forfeit the game. Why can't WGT do the same thing for muilplayer rounds. There has to be a penalty for quitting and not coming back when disconnected. I have done my sheare bought clubs,balls, etc. It is now WGT''S  turn to do something about this problem.

     

    Thank You

    it's a good idea though, but sometimes maybe some people need to go to work or has job need to be done, and then they quit and work on their job, or maybe take care of their kids, who knows???

    so sometimes they really have things need to be done, of course, sometimes people quit because they had a bad score, but again, who knows???

    that's the problem, so the main thing is when they quit the game, if they quit the game in the first 3 holes, that might because they had a bad score, if they quit the game with -3 after 4 holes, do you think they will quit the game? again, who knows???

    It's a good suggestion, maybe we can add why they left the game and tell everyone who are still playing.

    The answer is simple just play match games and then let them quit.

    maybe,  these quitters can  let you know  that they are quitting..

    ie.... gotta go ...dinner to be made..

    I agree that quitters are Frustrating. But , even MORE frustrating is the fact that we have been complaining for over a Year about the FAULTY , Intermittent, Unreliable Swing meter!

    It seems to me that if you can construct a whole new golf course, you should be able to address an issue as simple as this. Cmon guys, It's been going on since you started the game. Regrettfully, I and my friends are going back to Tiger Woods until we see some attention given this issue.

    Johnny, is you remove the quitter threads, the sandbagging threads and the meter threads, this forum would collapse into the size of a postage stamp. I find it amusing that with over 1 year complaints of these matters, posters continue to post, and WGT does nothing. Live with it, because of all the golf sims, this is still in my estimation, NUMBER 1

    I don't seem to have any meter issues at all. I clear my browser cache and flash cache. One thing that I think also helps is my computer was custom made and does not have all of the programs running that name brand computers do. I think when you add all of the above items it helps in this matter.

    I just played another multiplayer round with 4 people and 2 quit before the first hole was finished and the 3rd guy played unitl the 7th hole of a front 9 game and then said thanks and goodbye. WGT fix this problem no one can play rounds with 4 people and finish the game without some penalty to the players that quit. Bye now USW1748

      There are numerous threads on this, ExpiredLoch. You may wish to regale yourself by reading, for example, this one: How to Handle Quitters . Right in these moments, I'm in my first-ever 18-hole multiplayer 4-some on WGT.com. The first player quit on hole 5; the second player quit on hole 7.
